It weighs 500 g (18 oz) with its 320 mm handle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe checked (waffled) face is a shrinking face: used over a dolly on stretched metal it gathers the panel back up. The large smooth square face planishes the area out again afterward.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe head is Picard alloyed special steel, hardened and tempered, and finished in Picard's blue hammertone enamel. It sits on a dual-curved hickory handle with an octagonal grip, fixed to the head with Picard's ring wedge.
